If no remedial action is required at a site (based on agreement with the USACE and appropriate regulators), documentation of "No Further Action" will constitute Response Complete.

2.1 Background Information

Under the FUDS program, the USACE completed the removal of pipelines and over 110 underground storage tanks in 1993. Initial investigations indentified several contaminated areas along the Anyplace Installation Fuel Pipeline “P”. These areas were numbered as areas P1 thru P12. (Figure 1).

Seven of the twelve Pipeline “P” sites have been cleared for a No Further Action by both The State and USACE. Wells associated with the seven cleared sites (P1, P2, P3, P8, P9, P10, and P12) will be abandoned under this task. However, the Contractor shall determine which wells would be beneficial to maintain during the investigation and be abandoned at a later time.

Recommendations from the Corrective Action Plan Part- B for the Anyplace Installation Fuel Pipeline “P” included additional soil and groundwater sampling and reporting for the four remaining sub-sites (P4, P5, P6, and P7) to better delineate the benzene contamination and determine extent of the free product.

This task order also includes the removal of unregulated 500-gallon FUDS eligible heating oil tanks, used in conjunction with former buildings, within the cantonment area of the former Anyplace Installation. Figure 2 shows the approximate location of the heating oil tanks.

Work required under this Performance Work Statement (PWS) falls under the Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) Installation Restoration (IR) Program Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) category. All activities in this PWS shall be conducted in full compliance with USACE, Department of the Army (DA), and Department of Defense (DOD) regulations, guidance, standards, and manuals.

2.2 Location

Anyplace Installation is located within the City of Anywhere, USA. Anywhere, USA is located within the Coastal Plain Region. Surface deposits are typically sands, silts, and clays. Access to the property is good, as is all the project sites under this PWS.

2.3 History of the FUDS Property

The Former Anyplace Installation (FAI) was constructed in 1935 by the DOD as an Army Air Corps Base that was used as a flight school. Facilities at the base included a runway, aircraft hangars, maintenance areas, roads, and housing. Anyplace Installation was closed at the end of World War II, but reopened years later as a training facility until the local government took title of the property during the late 1970’s. Most of the former facilities, including the runway, taxiways have been removed, and the City of Anywhere has subsequently sold buildings and property to various private industries. The FAI once contained numerous fueling facilities and an extensive underground fuel pipeline system. Under the FUDS program, the USACE contracted the removal of the USTS and pipelines in the early 1990’s. Several follow-on studies have been completed by the USACE and its contractors since the removals. “Pipeline P” was the main distribution line and it is the focus of this contract. All wells are 2” with an average depth of 40 feet. The lithology is typical for Southwest Georgia, mostly sand, silt and clay. The water table varies between 25 to 35 feet below ground surface.

2.4 History of “Pipeline P” Site Investigations and Actions

During removal, areas along the subject pipeline that showed evidence of contamination, were designated Sub-site P1 through P12. The USACE prepared a comprehensive CAP Part-A for the entire Pipeline P in early 1990’s. Several areas along the system were identified as having contamination. These were designated as sites P1 through P12.

During the initial investigations, free-phase petroleum hydrocarbons were encountered and a free product recovery system was installed. Approximately 3,000 gallons of free product was recovered during a four-year period. Additional free product recovery efforts were performed for five more years and approximately 3,200 gallons of free product were extracted during that period.

Seven (7) of the sites have been approved for No Further Action.

The four (4) remaining sites will need additional sampling and investigative work. Additional effort is needed to finish full site characterization. The sites to be addressed in this project are P4, P5, P6, and P7. Site P4 and Site P5 have had the highest history of product in wells. Site P5 and P7 have had free product at some sampling events. Site P6 had minor free product recently, in a new well installed.

2.5 History of Heating Oil Tank Studies

Forty-two (42) underground heating oil tanks out of more than eighty (80) were included under the FUDS program. Most of the old Base buildings associated with them were removed in the mid 1990s and later. New construction has occurred since then in much of the area. A recent geophysical survey indicates that most, if not all tanks, are still present. The USACE removed five of these tanks in 1996.

3.0 TASK ORDER REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Responsibilities

The Contractor shall perform and assume all responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the work and services for the described project in accordance with established criteria, standards, and instructions.
